Stour Music 2023: Battle Cry - Helen Charlston and Toby Carr

The stories of women such as Dido and Ariadne have been told and re-told throughout history, as women ‘left behind’ by male adventure and success, often dealing with the reality of loss. Illuminated by the intimate combination of voice and theorbo, Battle Cry re-balances this obsession with female abandonment and lament in the 17th century. Works by Purcell, Strozzi, Monteverdi, Owain Park.
